In the video, that was 150mph at about 70% throttle, on the limiter. Geared/propped for key west and semi rough water. We were extremely tempted to change the gear ratio and rip a 170mph+ run because it would've easily, but we decided to wait until after KW.

Motors are Outerlimit built 509ci (for Super Vee) setup at 1300ish, extremely conservative.

Yup, and since we got a few days of testing and racing around the bouys, were actually prepared this year! No more last minute stuff.

.Fred do you guys run to bridge to bridge south to north it seems longer and you got the channels to stay in for deep water. but at high tide and those speeds your using 2 feet of water so your fine. haha. looks good for 180!!!

Ya when we put the boat on the trailer, someone that lives right there came up and said, holy crap, you guys are lucky that its high tide! When we went by, you could see the rocks on the bottom!
